Bring Back Wifi Connection After Kernel Upgrade in Fedora

You want to connect again to WIFI without reinstalling the new version of kernel 3.3.1 fedora. Here are suggestion that I could recommend to you to solve your problem.

Plugged in via Ethernet and log onto your router. Look for WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) you will see that the default was enabled. Try to DISABLE WPS and restarted wireless networking and presto. The wireless connection will work again.

If you're not familiar with WiFi Protected Setup it is a certification program to develop to ease setup of security-enabled WiFi networks in the home and small office environment.

Hope this solve your problem.
